The Art of Badassery ·

Letting go isn’t hard because you’re stuck.It’s hard because you’re still waiting. Waiting for closure. Waiting for the apology. Waiting for it to finally stop bothering you so you can move on “properly.” And in the meantime, you stay tied to the very thing you say you’re done with. That’s the pattern no one talks about.
